The rules in Alaska
| Landlord entry notice | 24 hours' notice, at reasonable times, and only to make repairs, supply services, inspect, show the unit, or remove the landlord's property. Entry without notice is allowed in an emergency, when 24 hours' notice is not reasonably possible, or when the tenant has been gone more than 7 days without notice. If the landlord abuses access, the tenant may get an injunction and recover actual damages or one month's rent, whichever is greater, or terminate on 10 days' notice. If the tenant unreasonably refuses entry, the landlord has the same remedies, including termination on 10 days' notice. Source: AS 34.03.140; AS 34.03.300 |
